UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE: BE PREPARED TO BE ACCEPTED FOR EMPLOYMENT!
Unemployment insurance is a good choice to secure against problems with your job, but first of all you should pin your hopes on yourself. Cheek brings success…You can change your live by own strength. That is why before speaking about unemployment insurance I’d like to tell you how you can be accepted for employment. Your salary will be mush better than your dole. 
Some facts
- Advertisements (ads) for employment appear in all the media including radio and television. However, newspapers and magazines are usually the main source for vacancies.
- Generally, the terms vacancy, post, position, or opening are used instead of the word job in applications.
- If replying to an advertisement, as with most correspondence, it is better to simply state what you are doing, and remember to give a date or reference.
- If your enquiry is only for an application form, you can give some brief details about yourself, and then ask for the form. It is worth remembering, at this point, that your letters; in these cases, are not for the positions themselves, but are for interviews.
- Some companies do not send application forms, but prefer applicants to supply a curriculum vitae (c. v.), which is your personal and working history.
- There should be a covering letter with application forms and C.V.s, either explaining points that might not be clear, or giving further information to emphasize your suitability for the post.
